The Niagara IceDogs have added another big body, this time on the blueline.

...

The IceDogs have acquired Team Canada defenceman Jamie Oleksiak along with a conditional sixth round pick in 2014 from the Saginaw Spirit in return for defenceman Frank Schumacher, the rights to Alex Sakerapoulos ('94) and Cristoval Nieves ('94), Niagara's third round pick in 2012, Oshawa's third in 2012, Barrie's second in 2013, Windsor's eighth in 2013, and Sarnia's second in 2015. The conditional pick going to Saginaw relates to whether Oleksiak plays in the OHL next season, which is unlikely considering he would be an OA and expected to enter the Dallas Stars system. He has six goals in 31 games with the Spirit this year, while checking in at around 6'7 and 250 lbs.

Sakerapoulos was Niagara's ninth round pick in the 2010 OHL Priority Selection. The 6'2 goaltender is currently playing for the Chicago Steel of the USHL. Nieves was chosen by the IceDogs with the next pick after Sakerapoulos and now suits up for Kent High School in Connecticut. He has committed to the University of Michigan. Frank Schumacher re-joins the Spirit after starting his career there before moving to Sudbury and eventually Niagara. He was the Spirit's seventh round pick in 2009.

Terry Doyle sees plenty of junior hockey games over the course of a season. But people have never been able to figure out where he'll show up. From Peterborough TV to Saginaw Radio and just about everywhere in-between. Mississauga webcasts, Sarnia TV, who knows! He is currently the Host/Play-by-Play for TVCOGECO in Sarnia. He is also the Producer/Host of "OHL News", a junior hockey radio show heard across the league on radio and online.
